Cirque du Soleil’s CRYSTAL – a one-of-a-kind production that brings the circus arts to the ice for the very first time, returns to Windsor’s WFCU Centre from November 30 to December 3.

In addition to seven jaw-dropping traditional circus acts, CRYSTAL also features figure skating and extreme skating – two disciplines that have never been seen before in a Cirque du Soleil show.

Thrilling more than 1.8 million people worldwide since its creation in 2017, CRYSTAL blends the art of skating with adrenaline-inducing acrobatics and aerial feats. The show takes audiences on a whimsical journey into the vivid and magical imagination of the show’s protagonist, Crystal.

“CRYSTAL pushes the boundaries of possibility of the circus arts and encourages audiences to find the magic in the everyday,” says Robert Tannion, CRYSTAL’s Artistic Director. “The show is all about shifting your perspective and looking at things from fresh angles – sometimes the best way to appreciate things is to look at it sideways or in Crystal’s case, upside down! It’s a magical story that really springs to life on the ice and we can’t wait to bring it to Windsor again.”
